| Book Description |
| These three tales, all set in Italy, are intensely dramatic depictions of suffering, solitude, and mindless violence done to the spirit. Herling's command of language is matched by an unblinking observation of his characters' stumbling progress toward salvation. Herling is the author of A World Apart. |
